Eating Out in Lake Tahoe on a Budget

You’ve been planning your Lake Tahoe getaway for months. You’ve carefully skimped and saved to get a great place to stay right on the water; you’ve reserved your boat rental. However, what you didn’t plan in advance was your eating out budget. If you’re looking for some great places to eat in Lake Tahoe, CA, without going into debt, our crew at H2O Craft Rentals & Repair can help you out.

First, here are a few basic tips for not overspending on food while on vacation:

• Determine how much you want to spend each day on meals. Setting a budget is an important first step in making sure you don’t spend more than what you have.
• Use what resources you have. Are you staying at a place that has a kitchen, a mini fridge, or at least a coffee pot? If so, use them. If you can avoid purchasing all your food (including high-priced coffee drinks) from a restaurant, you can save quite a bit.
• Brunch when you can. One sure-fire way to save money is by combining your breakfast and lunch. Eat brunch and avoid paying for three meals. You’re likely to want to sleep in a few days anyway, right? You can always supplement with snacks.
• Pick affordable restaurants. You may want to enjoy fine dining one night, but keep your other restaurant choices affordable. You may even opt for take-out. A “cheap eats” in Lake Tahoe, according to TripAdvisor, are Sprouts, Char-Pit, Jalisco Mexican Grill, and Izzy’s Burger Spa.

Food doesn’t have to cost you a fortune when visiting Lake Tahoe. We would hate for you to sacrifice your water fun, like your pontoon boat or jet ski rental, just to make sure you stick to your budget. Get creative, and you can still eat well and play hard.
